INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PROCEDURE: REMOVE CONTENTS FROM BOX. VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. DRILLING MAY BE REQUIRED.
-
Starting at the driver side-front of the vehicle, remove the sealing tape covering the factory holes in the side of the inner panel, (Figure 1).
-
Determine the correct procedure to attach the driver side front Bracket for your model/year:
Models without factory threaded inserts in body panel: -
Select (1) 8mm Bolt/nut Plate, (Figure 2). Partially thread an 8mm Hex Bolt onto the threaded of the Nut Plate, (Figure 3). Thread the Hex Bolt in until it is flush with the welded nut. Use the Hex Bolt as a handle and insert the Bolt and Nut Plate into the oval hole, (Figure 4). Feed the threaded bolt on the Bolt Plate through one of the hex shaped factory holes.
-
Thread (1) 8mm Plastic Retainer onto the threaded end and down tight against the body panel,(Figure 5). NOTE: The Plastic Retainer is designed to keep the Bolt/Nut Plate from falling into the body panel and to aid in Bracket installation.
-
Select (1) Driver/Left Bracket, (Figure 6). Attach the Bracket to the threaded end of the Bolt Plate with (1) 8mm Flat Washer, (1) 8mm Lock washer and (1) 8mm Hex Nut, (Figure 6).
IMPORTANT: Driver/Left Front Bracket is the same as the Driver/Left Center and Passenger/Right Rear Brackets. Do not tighten hardware at this time. -
Remove the 8mm Hex Bolt from the nut on the Bolt Plate from Step 2a. Rotate the Bolt on the Bolt Plate until the threaded nut lines up with the remaining hole in the Mounting Bracket and body panel, (Figure 7). Attach the Bracket to the threaded Nut Plate with (1) 8mm x 30mm Hex Bolt, (1) 8mm Lock Washer and (1) 8mm Flat Washer, (Figure 7). Do not tighten hardware.
Models with factory threaded inserts:
Attach (1) Driver/Left Mounting Bracket to the threaded inserts with (2) 8mm x 30mm Hex Bolts, (2) 8mm Lock Washers and (2) 8mm Flat Washer, (Figures 8 & 9). Do not tighten hardware. -
Attach (1) Support Bracket to the back of the pinch weld with (2) 6mm Hex Bolts, (4) 6mm Flat Washers and (2) 6mm Nylon Lock Nuts, (Figure 10). Do not fully tighten hardware. IMPORTANT: 2009-12 models not equipped with factory holes will require drilling through the pinch weld to fully attach Bracket. Do not drill through pinch weld at this time, (see Step 8).

Attach the Support Bracket to the Mounting Bracket with (1) 8mm Hex Bolt, (2) 8mm Flat Washers and (1) 8mm Nylon Lock Nut, (Figure 11). Do not tighten hardware at this time.

Drill (2) 1/4” holes through the pinch weld for each Bracket. IMPORTANT: Do not drill too close to the bottom edge of the pinch weld. Drill the holes in the center of the marked slots.
-
Repeat Step 3 to attach the Brackets to the drilled holes in the pinch weld. Check for level then fully tighten all hardware.
-
Repeat Steps 1—8 to attach the Passenger/Right Sidebar.
